I wanted to share our farm blog. I haven't really started talking about permaculture per se, but Dad and I both pursue it in our planning and planting. Dad's been a fan of Mollison's for over 20 years, and I found this forum last year when I was still thinking my fiance and I would move to Oregon and build a permaculture homestead. Now we know we're staying in NH for the foreseeable future, so we're making Dad's farm into what it should be! Let me know what you think.

Very nice!  I wish you all the luck, and I hope you learn a lot before moving on to your own place.

Those look like some hard working pigs:  make sure to reserve a place for them at the dinner table.  A trick I've used is to use a cord-less drill with an auger, and drill some 1" holes around the roots (6-12 inches deep), and drop in acorns, peanuts (or whatever is handy).  Those bushes will be history in no time!
 
I have a knack for fixing things like this ... um ... sorry ... here is a concilitory tiny ad:
